Earth laughing

Today I read on the side of a van driving past: "Flowers are the earth laughing".

I am not generally a sooky apple, touchy feely kinda gal but that tickled me. I have caught myself whispering it to myself a few times today. I like the image of the earth having a chuckle and belching up a row of tulips. A belly laugh would be bush of blue hydrangeas and a wee snicker a little meadow flower.

My boy was delightful today. He had two friends over from the Autism School. They are all magical children. They weave around each other like little streams of water. Seemingly unconscious of each other but in fact so very aware.

I feel lucky to have children in my life like these. I like very much to make them smile.
